Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1228 Zhao Wuchen

As soon as Huangfu Jingzhai finished speaking, a fierce aura suddenly erupted from his body, almost reaching the Nirvana Realm, similar to Yongcheng whom Jiang Xiaochuan had encountered before.

Behind him, the aura of the Nirvana Realm enshrined unfolded simultaneously.

Feng Ji's expression was solemn as he stood firmly in front of Jiang Xiaochuan, but he dared not make a move rashly.

If a fight really breaks out, they won't have the upper hand and will put Jiang Xiaochuan in danger.

"You asked for it!"

Seeing this, Yin Jiu's eyes became even more venomous. With a wave of his hand, gray energy shot out and rushed straight towards Jiang Xiaochuan's brow.

"Ding—!"

Just then, the elevator emitted an untimely, crisp arrival announcement!

This time, the moment the door opened, a chilling and murderous aura swept in, instantly dispelling the gloom of the underground boxing ring.

Inside the elevator, Chen Qishan, dressed in the standard uniform of the Yan Brigade, walked at the front with a solemn expression, followed by the three Grandmaster-level martial artists from before.

Standing beside him was an elderly man who looked extremely frail.

With white hair and beard, long eyebrows drooping to the corners of his eyes, and eyes slightly closed, his aura was in no way weaker than Chen Qishan's; he was clearly also an elder of the Yan Brigade!

Behind them, Tang Ran was dressed in a smart and capable outfit.

At the very back, Lao Liu was squeezed into the crowd, his face bearing a roguish air of watching the spectacle.

A group of people walked out, and the overwhelming aura of Chen Qishan and the white-browed old man made everyone present feel a tightness in their chests.

Especially the old man with his eyes closed, although he did not open his eyes, he gave people a sense of oppression that knew everything. Even the Nirvana Realm elder behind Huangfu Jingzhai subconsciously restrained his aura.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Huangfu Jingzhai's arrogant expression suddenly froze on his face.

He never expected that the Yan Brigade would actually come.

He didn't recognize the others, but he had a deep impression of Chen Qishan.

When Murong Jin was chosen by Yan Lü last time, the Murong family became incredibly influential in the aristocratic circles.

Murong Bogu specially hosted a celebratory banquet, inviting all the major families in the capital to witness the occasion.

During the banquet, it was Chen Qishan who personally came to pick up Murong Jin.

This person is a highly respected elder in the Yan Tribe!

He realized that his boastful words, "So what if Yan Lü comes?" must have been overheard by the other party.

Huangfu Jingzhai's face flushed, but he immediately composed himself and bowed to Chen Qishan, saying, "Elder Chen, how have you been?"

Upon recognizing Chen Qishan, Situ Zhen immediately put aside all his thoughts and bowed respectfully.

The six great families could act with impunity in the capital and even further afield, but they were always suppressed by the Yan Brigade, which reflected the will of the authorities.

To truly transcend, each family must reach that level, and all six major families are putting in their best efforts to achieve this.

Chen Qishan glanced at the two men indifferently, cupped his hands in greeting, and said calmly, "You two patriarchs are right."

Seeing that the other party seemed to have no intention of pursuing the matter, Huangfu Jingzhai felt somewhat relieved.

Just then, the white-browed old man who had been keeping his eyes closed slowly opened them. "Just now, who was so arrogant, not even putting Yan Lü in their eyes?"

Upon hearing this, Situ Zhen glanced sideways at Huangfu Jingzhai.

Huangfu Jingzhai's face stiffened. He braced himself and lowered his posture to the extreme, replying respectfully, "This junior, Huangfu Jingzhai, was just in a moment of panic and spoke without thinking. I had absolutely no intention of belittling Yan Lü. Please forgive me, senior."

"Oh? Huangfu Jingzhai..."

The white-browed old man repeated the name softly, his voice suddenly turning stern, "Even that old bastard Huangfu Yi never spoke so recklessly. You, on the other hand, are... quite bold."

These words sounded like a compliment, but in reality, they were like an invisible slap in the face to Huangfu Jingzhai.

His face instantly turned pale and then red, extremely embarrassed, but he could only grit his teeth and bow again: "This junior knows his mistake, please don't take offense, senior!"

The old man stopped looking at him and instead asked, "Where's that little messenger? Is he still there?"

Tang Ran immediately stepped forward and introduced, "Elder Zhao, this is him, Jiang Xiaochuan."

In that instant, Lao Liu darted to Jiang Xiaochuan's side.

In front of so many big shots, his loud voice toned down considerably. "Hey kid, you're really tough. Even the King of Hell wouldn't take a scourge like you, huh?"

Despite his sharp tongue, Lao Liu pulled out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and casually tossed it to Jiang Xiaochuan: "Here, a secret healing pill. You're lucky, I just happened to have one on me."

Jiang Xiaochuan caught the porcelain bottle, and without hesitation, he uncorked it and swallowed the pills inside.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and a gentle yet powerful medicinal force spread out instantly, traveling along the meridians.

A warm sensation emanated from the previously broken ribs, and the shock to my internal organs quickly subsided, with my bodily functions recovering at a visible pace.

Jiang Xiaochuan felt that he had regained a lot of strength. He struggled to stand up straight and clasped his hands in a fist salute towards Zhao Wuchen, saying, "Junior Jiang Xiaochuan."

Jiang Xiaochuan had mixed feelings about Yan Lv's arrival, a mixture of joy and worry.

Fortunately, with Yan Lü present, Huangfu Jingzhai would definitely not dare to make any rash moves, and his safety was temporarily assured.

The worry is, how can Huangfu Jingzhai be allowed to discover the "secret" about Xishan in his mind in a "logical and natural" way?

Zhuge Canglan entrusted him with the task of spreading the news, the core of which was to make the Huangfu family "convinced" that the secret was in Xishan.

If even this first step cannot be completed, all subsequent plans to lure the snake out of its hole will be nothing but empty talk.

Even if word gets out, without 100% "evidence," that old fox Huangfu Yi might not risk showing up himself.

Jiang Xiaochuan's mind raced, so he still had to find a way to get him to perform a soul search...

Zhao Wuchen observed the subtle changes in Jiang Xiaochuan's expression, assuming it was due to his injuries and pain, and did not delve into it further.

He turned to Huangfu Jingzhai and Situ Zhen, "This young friend Jiang is currently assisting our Yan Brigade in tracking down a group of wandering Japanese martial artists, and his role is crucial."

"Let me make this clear first: you must not touch him until these Japanese are brought to justice."

These words essentially gave Jiang Xiaochuan a temporary "protective shield".

Huangfu Jingzhai and Situ Zhen's expressions changed, but faced with Elder Yan's clear warning, they could only lower their heads and agree.

"Senior, don't worry!"

After a moment's thought, Huangfu Jingzhai bowed slightly and said, "The Japanese ninjas are committing atrocities within China's borders, and they are a scourge that the Yan Army must eliminate. My Huangfu family is willing to do everything in our power to help the Yan Army and relieve its burdens!"

For the Huangfu family, helping the Yan army fight the Japanese was more beneficial than harmful.

When Jiang Xiaochuan loses his "bait" value, Yan Lü will naturally no longer provide him with excessive protection.

He had previously been wary of Jiang Xiaochuan having Yan Lü backing him up, but seeing Yan Lü's attitude now, he breathed a sigh of relief, taking Jiang Xiaochuan as just a pawn thrown out by Yan Lü.

"senior!"

Situ Zhen followed closely behind, a warm smile on his face, but his eyes swept over Jiang Xiaochuan.

"My Situ family is also willing to fully cooperate with the Yan army to track down the Japanese and will never allow these foreign scum to disrupt the peace of China!"
